LOS ANGELES – Dakota Fanning, who turns 19 on February 23rd, 2013, has reportedly done a photo spread for Playboy!

Ever since Dakota Fanning turned 16, and starred in Runaways,Hugh Hefner has been trying to sign her up to pose naked in Playboy after her 18th birthday. Finally, with the approval of Dakota’s agents and Hollywood handlers, it’s a done deal – according to sources in Georgia.

The photos will be taken the day after her 18th birthday by Playboy’s top photographers, including Vlad Comito. The concept was approved by Hef himself, who says that Dakota’s photo spread, was tasteful and will be appreciated by her fans of all ages.

The 85-year-old Playboy tycoon always thought the ‘I Am Sam’ star – who is even causing controversy with her Cosmo photo spread i – would be a hit with readers of the adult magazine after she turns 18.

Hannah Dakota Fanning was born on the 23rd of February 1994, in Conyers, Georgia, USA. Before her debut into the cinematic world, Dakota did her own acting around her house. She was very active for her age, and often put a blanket under her shirt and pretended to be having a baby, using her younger sister, Elle Fanning, who is also an actress now, as the baby. Dakota went to a playhouse near her home, where the children that attended put on a play every week to show to their parents. But the people running the playhouse noticed that Dakota stood out, and advised her parents, Joy and Steven Fanning, to take her to an agency.

Dakota has appeared in a number of films including: I Am Sam, Taken, Sweet Home Alabama, Twilight, The Secret Lives of Bees.

Dakota and Kristen Stewart heated up the screen in The Runaways in 2010. In film, Dakota played the lead singer, Cherie Currie. Dakota snorts cocaine, has lesbian scenes, and generally was NOT the little girl fans had known her to be.

And now… it’s time for her Playboy moment.

Hefner told WWN, “We are excited to have her appear in the magazine. She’s a very pretty lady now.”

Hefner, who is having trouble remembering who he is lately, an’t understand why some people are upset about Dakota appearing in the magazine. “Every woman wants to appear in Playboy,” said Playboy CEO Sandra Piccoli. “To a lot of boys who grew up with Dakota, she was their fantasy girl. And now, they get more to add to their fantasies.”

Playboy feels that the issue will be a smash success. “If Dakota wants to pose naked, as an adult, she has the right to do so,” said Piccoli.

Hefner is not surprised that some Americans object to Dakota being in the magazine: “I think it’s a reflection on how schizophrenic America is about sexuality.” Many parents have complained recently about Miley’s new videos which seem racy. There’s going to be even more complaints when they see her Playboy photo-spread. Miley has agreed to pose completely naked.

Hugh founded Playboy in 1953. Insiders say the elderly Hef is losing some of his mental faculties because he’s started wearing suits, and shoes.

WWN can confirm that the rumors about there are men dressed as werewolves in the Dakota pictures for Playboy. Rumors are that Sean Penn also appears in the background of the photos. He’s dressed as Hugo Chavez.
